Causo of Present Trouble in
KUcJon AnothorWar Brewing
Much interest ia shown in local
diplomatic circle especially whore
tho Samoau controversy is a pubject
of watchful attention in a letter re
cently written by Mr Lloyd Osborne
formerly United State vice lonnul
at Apia under dnte of April 9 Fun

and acting consul general for
the Uniled States speak tho lan
guage of the natives fluently and
know almost everybody no matter
whether whito or brown who played
a part in the recent tioubles iliore
I believe therefore that I am
lillod to speak as an authority on
the subject
The essential cause of this pres
ent trouble is religion Tho Lon
don Missionary Society Protestant
Iaunot tolerate the thought of a
Jtoinan Catholic lei up This is tin
reason why we are nupportiiif with
our guns and men a diviuity studeni

THC KING MAKING PIE
The London Missionary Souiety
has always had a linger in the king
makini ti Likewise old Malioloa
Laupep uuiunatod from tbo eanie
college from which young Tsuu has
been brought forward to b elected
it being a seutariau institution in
Mabia for tho education nf nativu
missionaries
William Chambers representing
the three powers s chief justice is
a man of tho narrowest evangelical
views and is Altogether in the hands
of tho missionary society Hence
his decision in favor of Tauu
Whilst admitting the numerical
superiority of Mataafas supporters
and barring him from the kingship
by a quibble Chamber point was
that Germany had onco in the Ber
lin convention of 1885 objected to
Mataafas nomination and that tho
objection still held good although
Horr Rose tho Germsu Cousul
Geuornl otlicially withdrew it in tho
name of his government During
the whole term of Mr Chambers as
land commissioner of the United
States he lived in the mission school
in Apia and identified himself with
his hosts to such a dogreo as to givo
les3ons in their Sunday school
Germanys attitude
It cau not bo too emphatically
ailirmed that in this affair of
Germany is right and tho
attitude of Horr Iioso has been com
mendable throughout Wo tho
English and Americans are cruelly
and brutally iu the wrong Indeed
the bombardments of Samoau towns
must be abhorrent to any civilized
being To fire indiscriminately on
men women aud children is a crimo
against humanity only to be justi
fied in a vory oxtremo aud unusual
case such as the killing of a white
man by a certain village and the
refusal of tho villagers to surrender
the murderer But in this instance
thorn wore no such excuses It was
we who exasperated a situation al
ready difficult it is wo who drovo
these people to the wall to the glory
of cousuls aud naval offioors wishing
to bring themselves into notice
You will no doubt be told that
only a fow wore killed iu tho bom
bardments but even these fiw will
scarcely have eujoyed it neither tho
women and tho little ouildreu Iu
1891 there wero killod through tho
bombardment of the Oundrao
only eight persons of Tamaaosos
forces near Lalipi An old woman
wounded at this occasion ran for
shelter iuto Iho woods aud lay
there shot through tho body a
night aud part of tho next day
ANOTHER WAR CLOUD
So weak is tho position of our
official in this case that they find it
roeeasary to justify themselves by
attributing theao measures to tho
necessity of protecting Apia 1
should like to know tho real estato
owuors desiring such protection
Tbo cablegram meaningly adds that
the Hoyalif1 was crowded with fu
gitives and rnauy whites left the
country It may be stated here that
tho Protestant chief Tnmnsesp was
also a candidate for tho vacant
throne but that the respective fol
lowers of himself and Tanu wer so
few iu numbers as tp make them
iioIvH to unite their forces Ta
mato declaring himself satisfied
wih the position of vie king and
regent This arrangement contains
the genu of another Samoau war
Tho newspapers speak with en
thusiasm nf how tho English and
Americans fought side by side What
a pity that an entente eordiale in
itself so desirable should have been
made use of to fono a sectarian
king upon an unwilling people
How the old saying has hen con
firmed First the missionary then
the merchant and then tho man-of-war
